Playbook · Five working days

The canvassing week

A storm hit three weeks ago and the neighborhood has cooled off. How a crew works an older swath, Monday to Friday.

Workflow walkthrough — not a customer story. Times are illustrative.

Monday

Pick the storm worth a week.

  1. 08:15

    Search by date

    Storm archive

    You heard a subdivision got hit a few weeks back. Date-search the archive — storms on record back to 2021 — find the day, and lay the swath over the neighborhood.

  2. 09:00

    Check the sizes

    The band over the subdivision reads half-dollar to walnut. Big enough to damage shingles, big enough to be worth the week.

    1.25″Half-dollar1.50″WalnutExample size bands

Tuesday – Wednesday

Work the band, not the block.

  1. 08:30

    Pin the route

    Canvassing pins

    Split the streets under the band between reps. Every knock gets a pin and a status, so nobody hits the same door twice and nobody wastes an afternoon outside the swath.

  2. 16:45

    End-of-day read

    The map shows exactly what got covered, what turned into appointments, and what's left for tomorrow.

Thursday

The hesitant homeowner.

  1. 11:20

    Show, don't argue

    At-address lookup

    “We never got hail here.” Pull the address up on the spot: the storm's date and the size at that roof. A map beats a pitch.

  2. 11:35

    Leave the report

    Hail reports

    Generate a hail report — the storm, the sizes, the affected area — and email it before you're off the porch. Something concrete for the kitchen-table conversation.

Friday

Set up the next one.

  1. 15:00

    Watch the forecast

    Outlook · alert zones

    Check whether hail is in the outlook for the weekend, and make sure your alert zones cover the next market you want to work.

  2. 15:30

    Let the alerts run

    Storm alerts

    If a storm lands Saturday, you'll know within minutes — before the branded yard signs go up.

See what hit your market.
